Diane Morgan on Mandy | BFI Q&A
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 мар 2024
- Diane Morgan, director, writer and star of the hit BBC comedy series Mandy, visits BFI Southbank to talk about the new series.
The nation’s hero of the zero-hours economy returns in another series that follows Mandy’s micro-aggressive adventures as she battles her cost-of-living crisis with a number of short-lived, ill-thought-through and poorly paid jobs. Once again, Diane Morgan writes, directs and stars in the series, and is joined by faces old, new and somewhere in-between.

This woman is one of the funniest people on earth. Her characters are so original, likable, just the best. I can’t wait to see more of Mandy.
The thing about Mandy (the character) is there's no malice in her. She's not a saint but she's a relatively nice person just minding her own business. Far too many writers think their comedy characters need to be mean to be funny. Especially when it comes to "chavvy" characters (for want of a better word). Kudos to Diane for this funny character.
There are a number of comedy show here in the US that seem to be all about the insults and put downs. Drew Carey show was like that. I never watched an episode, but would see highlights, and it was just insult and demeaning other characters. Just garbage.
I agree, Mandy while no saint, just minds her own business and doesn’t judge others, stays in her lane, it’s all about her, all the time. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Mandy was the first "sitcom" to make me laugh out loud in about 14 years. Thank You, its an awesome show.
I can't wait for Mandy to be available to watch in the U.S. We only get small clips on RUclips.
I can’t wait either, can’t find her anywhere…
I love Diane Morgan's work.Mandy and Philomena Cunk are such incredibly funny and quirky creations.
I love her smile. Its incredible the way she lights up
we LOVE this show in America, the most quotable lines, "you had me at poison darts"...
Mandy was brilliant, we need more of her
From the interview, I gather Series 3 of Mandy is going out on 27 March 2024 at 10.00p.m. on BBC2.
Can't wait.
@@anthonymuldoon5793 its on iplayer now and its really crap
Absolutely hilarious shows, showing Diane to be a genius. Funniest thing in years.
Always amazed how 15 minutes seems to last so long with Mandy. Brilliantly self contained stories ❤
Just watched series three, couldn't leave the sofa, Diane is very talented.
The ghost of Alex 'the hurricane ' higgins! 😂
We stumbled on this wonderful lady through Ricky Gervais' After Life and of course we binged Mandy and have just started on Philomena Cunk. As someone else mentions it is a long time since we found anything laugh-out-loud funny.
Best contemporary comedian ! Love you Diane M ❤❤
Mandy is absolutely hilarious, and Diane Morgan is a genius.
First class interview with a brilliant actress. Love her in Mandy and Motherland.
Diane is so talented, and adorable
Love Diane. Wonderful caring funny human being.
Love Mandy. I'd watch her all day.
Diane Morgan is genuinely talented and funny. Never seen an interview with her, as herself, previously. Always in character before.
I so admire Diane... she's just pure class!
A national treasure 😊
Diane, What a beautiful soul you are ☀ Don't Ever stop Hun, Fantastically talented, you are frigging hilarious, Rock On & Thank 🙏You😇
The last episode of S3 (biscuit factory) still makes me cry with laughter
Love her energy ! Aspire to be this funny and high energy
A funny comedian, extremely rare these days. And she's absolutely gorgeous as well. 😘
She's brilliant!
Adore her!!!! 💗💗💗
Love Diane. Such a funny and warm person.
And I adore Mandy. I hope the series continues for many seasons to come.
They cheer me up no end.
I watched all three seasons in two days and laughed so hard. Thank you, you fabulous woman!❤
Same lol! Watched all 3 series in just 2 days aha
Mandy is on this week on BBC 2 if your interested
Epic can’t wait to watch more.
Why is she not more famous as she's surely worth it ❤😊
Love her to pieces. An incredible talent.
I think Diane would be great on Taskmaster!
No she’s funny.
Oup! 😂@@tonywright8294
5:55 utterly brilliant 🤣🤣🤣
Love Diane Morgan, she cracks me up.
I love Mandy especially as the living statue 😻
I watched all the episodes and was laughing so much .. absolutely hilarious 👏
Gorgeous, talented, unstoppable, all DM is....
😂😂bananas , spider's, Mandy😂😂😂
my god that spider smashing sequence was good. there are some standout moments in S3 as well, including the blowpipe sequence and the big fall down the stairs
She is great.
I once saw “Diane” in the street, I wish I spoke to her, but I did not want to invade her personal space, but I LOVE HER, SO SO FUNNY, xx
i have seen bits of this show .Its wonderful
WE NEED SERIES 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to see Mandy walk up a hill in San Francisco while smoking! She could earn the you rolled down a hill in SF 😂 Thank you Diane for the laughs!
Why in the world are we not able to watch this series in the USA???
Love love Diane❤❤❤❤
The interviewer is funny as well, how many pies have consumed in the making of this programme
So likeable & so funny.
diane morgan i will always love u
I remember first seeing Ali.G doing a short slot on a program called the 11 o’clock show on channel 4. Ricky Gervais had a short slot on the same show. I’m not 💯 that’s where they started, but that’s definitely where I first encountered them & I’ve been a huge fan of both ever since ❤️
Bring on “Mandy the Movie”
Probably in time, given a good plot
Bloody love Diane M!
Loved her in “Rovers”
'We used to meet up with a bag of wigs.' Who does that? 😂 Diane is always funny no matter what she says ❤
Loved Mandy in Rovers...I wonder how that relationship ended
I love it when serious interviewers try and interview irreverent people ... Diane is hilarious
Absolutely funny the best
You had me at blow darts 👀
She does that sneer, but on her lower lip. And I have adopted that, as people before her have their unique way of doing the same.
Michael Spicer
Great place Manchester!!??
Mandy is awesome.....
Yourrrrrr dead to meeee 😂😂😂😂😂
Diane is a hoot
Mrs Cunk
How is that crying baby not up there with Brydon's man in a box?
Because the woman doing it has no public profile?
♥️👍
I love beautiful funny women...
I think I was at her primary school😂
They way she thinks 😂
She is so cool. Love her in everything! I am gay but I want her to marry me! Lol
I’m sure she would love a gay husband. It would be so Mandy.
How did she stop herself going all Cunk over some of his questions? I did catch the odd FFS! look though. 🤣😂
Others have asked this here. So I will ask it again. WHEN will we see Mandy in the USA? And I certainly don't mean literally. OK?
... it's Glynis Johns' first Regeneration ... 🤔
That 12-15 minute format has become really popular, probably (in the states at least) based on the success of Adult Swim.
Who is the interviewer here?
Our Lead Programmer, Justin Johnson.
Peter the pieman
That title can be interpreted in two ways... 😜
Both ways would be fun
@@GTiR23throw in linda lusardi and boy oh boy!!
@@aethellstan no you've got yourself a PARTY!
As much as Cunk triggered laughing easily just as hard viewers might find it to wrest the ever so slightest of smiles from their faces while watching this one.
As in The comedy of Diane morgan, the facial gestures carry as much message as the words. You can deny or agree with words, but hard-pressed to call out the mouth lips chin like that.
The lips, mouth, and Chin can symbolize many things aside from a simple smile or frown. Consider disgust, amazement, deep thought, sternness, disapproval, and other limitless combinations. Moving the jaw from side to side, while the actual head stays in place. Exposing the upper teeth, or the lower teeth, or the side teeth either side. Again, as you isolate the anatomy of the mouth lips and Chin jaw, the breakout and manipulation of the anatomy can symbolize many different emotions and expressions. That's what I like about Diane Morgan comedian.
Clips were funny but tbh i couldn't get into the show
Wonder if diane knew then that the bbc had cancelled motherland.
considering their reaction when you tell them they shouldn't be driving cars or going on holidays any more, or having kids if im being really honest, and lockdown and the cost of living crisis is absolutely nothing compared the the shitstorm of consequences as collapse of civilization gathers momentum, its odd that more adult humans cannot normally and more easily mimic a human baby.

KINDOV IRRITATING? I kindov think so!
I haven't watched BBC for years. Remember Cunk but have no idea who Mandy is. Never mind.
Mandy is 1000% better than Cunk
Don't worry, Neither did I, this whole interview was a mystery to me, only seen Cunk.
Do remember to keep us all updated on what channels you're watching.
Mandy is on this week on BBC 2 if your interested
@@sratus except for this dickhead, don't bother updating him...
what is it that we are talking about?
seen it now, it's Mandy
cool?
Sorry but I thought Mr Creosote ended his life with a really really thin wafer thin mint.
Not cool
Series 3 is so terrible i got to episode 3 and gave up. God it is sooo bad. Clearly ran out of ideas. I love her but i can not finish its that bad
Rubbish! Series 3 is as good as ever!!!!!
Hi Mark, totally agree. Dreadful. I cannot believe the same lady wrote series 1 and 2. I really hope there is no series 4
@@grantchanin2878 thankfully most people don’t agree with either of you.
you need to eat fried air
